Now the question is: Do you all still use these old stuff? ;) I still 
use my old analog 3.5mm audio speakers, VGA, DVI, Belkin OmniCube KVM 
from Y2K (how in the world does it still work today?), PS/2 clicky 
keyboard and mouses, Casio Data Bank 150 calculator watch, etc. At 
least, those are still useful to me. :)
